We didn't have internet in our house. Now we do, so there is no excuse for for the fact that our blog hasn't been updated in a very long time. I loved how a friend of mine updated her blog so I will copy her.

Top 10 Things That Have Happened Since Our Last Post.......

10. In June we found out that ISU decided to cancel the Paramedic program (the whole reason we moved to Poky) and we spent weeks trying to get a straight answer from anyone about what was actually going on and if/when they would bring the program back. (it isn't coming back...)

9. We were able to help Niki and Nik get engaged!!!!! We helped them find a great deal on a GORGEOUS ring and get him connected with dad so he could ask permission. Their wedding is November 20 in the Salt Lake Temple. Yay!

8.We got sod for our yard!!!! Now we have grass and it only took 3 hours!

7. Pike now weighs in at 60 pounds and is only 10 months old! We fear he may turn out to be a giant.....

6. All of my family was able to go up north to the Dworschak reservior in Orofino to play on the water. We had so much fun rying to teach Pike to swim. He didn't want any of that but liked the really shallow water. All of my little siblings a getting so big! It is starting to make me feel old.

5. My friend Brigette got her mission call and I was able to fly to Arizona to go through the temple with her! It was wonderful!

4. While I was in Arizona I got to spend a day with my brother Thor and we had SO MUCH FUN!

3. Our friend Kate who lost her husband in June has been able to stay with us most nights of the week now that she is going to school at ISU to help her avoid having to make the 30 min drive in from Downey everyday. We were even able to convert our office into a bedroom for her because we suspect that in the winter she will be spending even more time with us. It is great to have her, she loves to play with Pike when we don't have time.

2. Josh found a new degree program that he can graduate from in AUGUST. Fire Service Administration. Then on to a different school for Paramedic.

And finally....

I'm gonna be selfish and brag all about me on this one...

1. I audidioned for choir here at ISU and they were so impressed with my ability and knowledge and experience that they couldn't believe that I was not a music major! Compliments from choral directors are very few and far between so this was HUGE! I am singing in the women's choir this semester because it is all that fits into my schedule but it is AMAZING! Our director is just awesome and we have so much fun and are singing some of the coolest songs I have ever sung. I absolutly love it and am so excited to be singing again after years of only singing in church!
